As a human, how do you define yourself?
Is it your job? Your degree? Your God? Your peers? What fundamental attribute of your life anchors you to the ground, and helps steady yourself? Choose carefully. In life, with it’s innumerable ups and downs, such anchors may lift, and set your identity ship adrift. Cue the unfathomable sense of displacement and confusion. Resilience is what everyman needs to make it beyond the tornadoes of life that constantly shake at us. The bows and sails must be pliant yet steadfast, and your sense of salt water forever fresh should you need to swim.
Definitions come and go. What Oxford claims is a word today, tomorrow shall be a fading colloquialism that your grandchildren laugh at.
If you’re lucky enough to have them.
Words, that is. Children are all over, little animals.
